More quotes by Shirley MacLaine
The comedy of class, played so straight, is a wonderful thing for an actor to sink their teeth into.
Shirley MacLaine
Crystals are amplifying minerals. You have a crystal in a radio - it amplifies the sound waves. You have a crystal in a television set - it amplifies the light waves. When you hold crystals, they amplify thought waves.
Shirley MacLaine
Then come the lights shining on you from above. You are a performer. You forget all you learned, the process of technique, the fear, the pain, you even forget who you are you become one with the music, the lights, indeed one with the dance.
Shirley MacLaine
Usually I'm right, by the way - so never mind all the other.
Shirley MacLaine
New York is the perfect town for getting over a disappointment, a loss, or a broken heart.
Shirley MacLaine
Ballet is the repetitive training of the body for the purpose of executing steps in traditional fashion. It is tied to and bound by the past. It is a disciplined beauty consciously preserved in the image of the old days in societies that were class-conscious and appreciative of elitist physical expertise.
Shirley MacLaine

One can become as intellectually arrogant about spirituality as about empirical science.
Shirley MacLaine
The mob taught me how to play gin rummy.
Shirley MacLaine
Audrey was the kind of person who when she saw someone else suffering tried to take their pain on herself. She was a healer. She knew how to love. You didn't have to be in constant contact with her to feel you had a friend. We always picked up right where we left off.
Shirley MacLaine
All you really need in life is some fresh water, a good hat, and a really good pair of shoes.
Shirley MacLaine
To release others from the expectations we have of them is to really love them.
Shirley MacLaine
It's a big deal for me to say I'm over politics.
Shirley MacLaine
I thought playing an angel would be very good for my image.
Shirley MacLaine
I can't advise any of the young ones, because I don't know what their background was, but I would suggest that anyone who wants to be famous more than anything - there's a problem.
Shirley MacLaine
It's not going to be about money. It's going to be about who am I, what have I done and where am I going.
Shirley MacLaine
For if the talent or individuality is there, it should be expressed. If it doesn't find its way out into the air, it can be turned inward and gnaw like the fox at the Spartan boy's belly.
Shirley MacLaine
I hoped that the trip would be the best of all journeys: a journey into ourselves.
Shirley MacLaine
